FAITH - Testing

信心試驗
Faith is demonstrated by Christians who refused to accept failure as final.

信心由那些拒絕將失敗視為最終結局的基督徒所展現。
If our faith is not in the present tense it will never be able to stand the test of the days in which we live.

如果我們的信心不是處於現在進行式，它將無法經受我們生活的考驗。
The faith which is never assaulted with doubting is but a fancy.  Assuredly that assurance which is ever secure is but a dream.

Robert Bolton

從未遭受懷疑攻擊的信心只是個想像而已。一直平安無事的確據絕對只是幻夢而已。
Our faith is really and truly tested only when we are brought into very severe conflicts, and when even hell itself seems opened to swallow us up.

John Calvin

只有在我們面對嚴苛的衝突時，我們的信心才確實受到考驗，在那時候，甚至地獄都似乎大張其口要把我們吞嚥下去。
God...often reveals himself to the souls of the elect only in the deep night of pure faith.

Francois Fenelon

上帝經常只在單純信心的漆黑深夜裡向蒙揀選者的靈魂彰顯祂自己。
The Christian must trust in a withdrawing God.

William Gurnall

基督徒必須信賴看起來消逝不見的上帝。
When I cannot live by the faith of assurance I live by the faith of adherence.

Matthew Henry

當我無法憑著確據的信心生活，那我就憑著堅持的信心生活。
There may be a time when God will not be found, but no time wherein he must not be trusted.

Thomas Lye

或許有些時候無法找到上帝，但卻沒有片刻上帝不被信賴的時候。
Faith like muscle, grows by stretching.

A. W. Tozer

信心如同肌肉，盡力使用才能增強。
Faith tries God and God tries the faith he gives.

Mary Winslow

信心試驗上帝，上帝也試驗祂所賜的信心。
